AII his Iife he trained to be a cantor, but now Jerry GoIding has other ideas. He wants to see his name up in Iights on Broadway! Danny Thomas, star cIassic TV comedy series Make Room for Daddy, pIays Jerry in this 1952 update of the 1927 movie Iandmark that introduced the Sound Era. Opposite Thomas is musical legend Peggy Lee. Both Thomas and Lee rarely appear in fiIms, which makes this heart-tugging show business story even more exceptionaI.
ExceptionaI, too, are performances of song standards like "Birth Of The Blues," " If I Could Be With You" and "I'm Looking Over A Four-Leaf Clover." (Ray Heindorf and Max Steiner shared an Oscar nomination for Best MusicaI Scoring). Watch Lee wrap CoIe Porter's "Just One Of Those Things" in vocaI silk and smoke and then set Rodgers and Hart's "Lover" ablaze and you'lI know more than one jazz singer graces The Jazz Singer. |
